Sean Randall reviewed Renaissance by Peter David
Review of 'Renaissance' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Well now, this is certainly a worthy continuation of the previous title and no mistake. You might call it the second half of something having more than 2 parts, as it were - "to be concluded" may indicate 3.
With Requiem focusing on Cwan, McHenry, kebron and Soleta, Renaissance gives us some of the other characters (The Leflers, Selar and family etc). It provides a very necessary link in the chain; with the characters so fragmented, it made sense to put them into more than one book, I'm sure.
Interestingly enough, the next one is called "Restoration". So perhaps Shore Leave is over now?
